Rotated Out

A Trainer card that removes damage but costs the Pokemon's energy.

ItemBeginner to play

What this card does

Heal all damage from one of your Pokemon.

Discard all Energy attached to that same Pokemon.

What it does

Max Potion

Heal all damage from 1 of your Pokémon. If you do, discard all Energy from that Pokémon.

This card acts as a full health restore for a single Pokemon. The catch is that it empties the Pokemon's energy supply, which might leave it unable to attack in the next turn.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on sturdy Pokemon or those with ways to reattach energy quickly. It is less useful in fast aggressive decks where keeping energy attached is critical.

Strengths
  • Full health restore
  • Removes status conditions
  • Uncommon rarity
Watch out for
  • Loses all energy
  • Cannot be used on bench Pokemon
Pro tip

Use this only if the Pokemon is badly damaged and you can easily replace its energy later.

Good to know

Potions are common medical supplies in the Pokemon world used to treat injuries.

Note for the parent

Explain to your child that healing a Pokemon without losing its energy is usually better than using this card.
